The VLBA
Imaging and
Polarization
Survey

The VLBA Imaging and Polarization Survey,
VIPS for short,
is initially a high dynamic range 5 GHz polarization survey with the
Very Long Baseline Array
of about one thousand Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). The parent sample is the
Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey
in the region covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
in order to facilitate multi-wavelength science.
Interesting sources are followed up for simultaneous new 5 GHz
and higher frequency (15 GHz anticipated) observations to obtain
Spectral Index and Rotation Measure maps.
